Top 10 Doors Songs
Like so many other classic bands from the ’60s, the Doors truly were a sum of their parts. But more than any of their contemporaries, they came dangerously close to being overshadowed by the magnetic presence of Jim Morrison, one of rock’s original swaggering rock gods. He got most of the attention — much of it for his onstage antics, which often included drunken confrontations with fans, police and his penis. But the band’s music is why they matter 40 years after their debut album came out. They made six mostly great records before Morrison’s inevitable death at the age of 27. Our list of the Top 10 Doors Songs covers all of them.
-
10
‘Roadhouse Blues’
From: ‘Morrison Hotel’ (1970)
The opening track on the Doors’ fifth album drew from their blues roots while jolting the genre with an electric performance by the entire band. Even though the song wasn’t a huge hit (as the B-side of “You Make Me Real,” it reached No. 50), “Roadhouse Blues” became one of the band’s most popular songs, thanks in no small part to the hedonistic lifestyle espoused by Morrison.
-
9
‘Hello, I Love You’
From: ‘Waiting for the Sun’ (1968)
The Doors’ second, and final, No. 1 single comes from their only No. 1 album. It’s basically a love song built around a riff played by keyboardist Ray Manzarek and augmented by guitarist Robby Krieger’s buzzing stabs. It’s one of the band’s most straightforward songs, clocking in at two-and-a-half minutes and primed for radio play.
-
8
‘People Are Strange’
From: ‘Strange Days’ (1967)
The Doors’ second album, Strange Days, is a musically richer record than their self-titled debut. The carnivalesque atmosphere running throughout the songs strikes a late-’60s balance of hippie idealism and pre-war nostalgia. The album is best taken in all at once, even though its lead single, “People Are Strange,” just missed the Top 10.
-
7
‘Touch Me’
From: ‘The Soft Parade’ (1969)
If “Hello, I Love You” (see No. 9 on our list of the Top 10 Doors Songs) is a love song, then “Touch Me” is all about sex. Morrison was brimming with carnal energy and raging confidence when the band released its fourth album in 1969. Filled with strings and horns, The Soft Parade is the Doors’ most troubled, and troubling, record. But the swinging “Touch Me” punches things up.
-
6
‘Love Me Two Times’
From: ‘Strange Days’ (1967)
The Doors’ second album came out when their debut was still in the Top 10. Strange Days is both a continuation and expansion of The Doors, driving more musically adventurous performances (see No. 8 on our list of the Top 10 Doors Songs) while retaining the band’s bluesy foundation. “Love Me Two Times” is the sturdiest bridge between the two albums. Plus, Manzarek manages to make the harpsichord sound like a natural rock ‘n’ roll instrument here.
-
5
‘When the Music’s Over’
From: ‘Strange Days’ (1967)
This 11-minute centerpiece not only closes the album, it defines Strange Days. Like “The End” from the debut LP (see No. 2 on our list of the Top 10 Doors Songs), “When the Music’s Over” sounds like one long, final apocalyptic warning before the band’s exit. It’s scary, and scary good, featuring one of the band’s all-time best performances.
-
4
‘L.A. Woman’
From: ‘L.A. Woman’ (1971)
The title track to the band’s final album became a tour de force for Morrison, who died three months after the record’s release. His “Mr. Mojo Risin'” chant (an anagram for his name) is silly but effective. And the band revs up for its big finish after almost eight minutes of steady acceleration. Still, it’s a remarkably efficient performance and highlight from one of the group’s best albums.
-
3
‘Break on Through (To the Other Side)’
From: ‘The Doors’ (1967)
The opening song on the band’s classic debut album didn’t chart, never making it any higher than No. 126. But the Doors’ first single still manages to sound like a monster hit. The band’s template was pretty much set on ‘Break on Through’: Manzarek’s elastic keyboard riffing, Krieger’s piercing guitar lines, John Densmore’s jazzy drumming and Morrison controversy-courting lyrics (his original “she gets high” line remained unreleased for 30 years). This is the beginning.
-
2
‘The End’
From: ‘The Doors’ (1967)
The Doors’ epic closer to their debut album sounded monumental even before Francis Ford Coppola used it in Apocalypse Now a dozen years later. The band honed its tight performance of the song at its nightly gigs in Los Angeles. There’s barely enough breathing space in “The End,” a claustrophobic and paranoid nightmare/fable that delays its apocalyptic penance for 12 harrowing minutes.
-
1
‘Light My Fire’
From: ‘The Doors’ (1967)
From its opening spare drum smack to the entire band’s closing shot seven minutes later, “Light My Fire” sums up just about everything you need to know about the Doors. It’s sexy, a little too long, a little too fussy, kinda pretentious and absolutely brilliant. The song hit No. 1 just as the Summer of Love was heating up. It’s a perfect symbol of the era.

What Is a Door County Fish Boil?
A fish boil is a traditional Scandinavian technique for cooking large amounts of fish. A stainless-steel pot is placed over an open fire and filled with locally caught whitefish steaks. The fish is commonly seasoned with salt, potatoes, onions, and melted butter.
Throughout the cooking process, the fish oils slowly rise to the surface. Before the master boiler pulls the pot off, they throw fuel onto the fire, causing the flames to engulf the fish and the water to boil over. A delicious and unforgettable meal follows this picture-worthy moment.
Here in Door County, traditional fish boils have been an integral part of our culture for over 70 years. Each restaurant uses fresh-caught Lake Michigan whitefish and adds its own style and quirks to enhance the simplicity of the meal.

High-quality entrance doors are distinguished by high insulating ability, resistance to burglary, chemical and climatic aggression, as well as durability and reliability in operation. There are hundreds of worthy models on the market in a variety of prices, which greatly complicates the choice.
The main criterion according to which the entrance door to an apartment is most often selected is price / quality. However, it is additionally worth considering its purpose, resistance to mechanical damage, anti-vandal properties and dozens of other parameters. Let’s talk about how to choose the best front doors to an apartment from among the novelties of 2022 and give an overview of popular top quality options.

Advantages of metal entrance doors
Metal entrance doors for houses and apartments are characterized by many advantages over analogues made of wood and plastic. If we consider outdoor models, then high-quality steel sheets are distinguished by increased resistance to burglary.
Other important advantages of steel structures:
- Ultimate strength – sheet metal 1.8 mm thick is difficult to penetrate even with a bullet.
- Heat and sound insulation – with proper installation, even low-cost doors are completely sealed.
- Fire resistance – unlike plastic and wooden models, metal structures retain their integrity for a long time under the influence of an open flame.
- Durability – the best front doors are treated with anti-corrosion compounds, made of durable metal, so they last for decades.
- Aesthetics – popular manufacturers present models with a stylish design, in particular with facades stylized as solid wood.
The best metal doors to the apartment also retain their original aesthetics throughout the entire period of operation, they are distinguished by maintainability and ease of maintenance. At the same time, a well-thought-out design, thick sheets of metal, well-chosen fittings guarantee high anti-vandal properties, resistance to mechanical damage.
Characteristics of the best entrance doors to an apartment
Requirements for models are related to the features of their operation. Optimally, they should be resistant to burglary, provide effective insulation, and outdoor models should additionally be resistant to climatic aggression factors – humidity, temperature changes.
However, some parameters are classified as universal – these are:
- reliability;
- design and finish;
- insulation and soundproofing.
Please note! The concept of reliability includes strength, resistance to breaking, which the best metal doors should have. When choosing, it is worth considering other product parameters – design features, degree of fire protection, tightness, type of hinges, type of fittings to be installed.
Reliability
The best manufacturers of entrance doors to apartments and private houses focus on reliability. And both the canvas and the structure as a whole. Even metal sheets with a thickness of 5-10 mm will be useless if low-quality fittings are used or the craftsmen make mistakes during installation.
An overview of metal doors to an apartment should begin with the requirements that apply to their anti-vandal properties. The main parameter here is the degree of protection of the product, according to which 13 classes of burglary resistance of products are distinguished. The classification is regulated by the requirements of GOST. In apartments and residential buildings, reliable entrance doors of 1-4 protection classes are installed, models with higher parameters are designed for non-residential premises, bank vaults, industrial facilities, and sensitive institutions.
Parameters define:
- GOST R 50862;
- SNiP 21-01-97;
- GOST R 51112;
- RD 78.147-9;
- GOST R 51072.
In accordance with the requirements of the regulations, the 1st protection class includes the thinnest models made of wood, MDF or plastic. In practice, they are not able to resist even a burglar with an ordinary crowbar or just a punch. But products of the 2nd class of protection collectively have a thickness of up to 50 mm. They are more reliable and better insulating ability. The thickness of the metal sheet, however, does not exceed 2 mm. This is usually sufficient for apartments on the upper floors of residential buildings.
Attention! Strong entrance doors to an apartment of the 2nd class of protection should be equipped with reliable locks and high-quality fittings. Only then will they be able to resist hacking attempts and will be resistant to mechanical damage.
Products of the 2nd class of protection – the most common. But according to experts, the best steel entrance doors to an apartment must meet higher standards of burglary resistance. Such indicators are demonstrated by products of the 3rd and 4th protection class. They have additional stiffening ribs, are distinguished by a thicker metal sheet and thoughtful anti-vandal design.
Main characteristics of models of the 3rd protection class:
- thickness of steel sheets up to 3 mm;
- more stiffeners, reinforced carcass;
- built-in anti-removal pins, concealed hinges.
Key features of the 4th security class models:
- equipped with at least two locks of different types;
- have armored pads;
- design provides for the installation of peepholes with video cameras.
The protection class determines the cost and requirements for use. Entrance doors of good quality to an apartment or private house rise in price in proportion to the increase in their reliability. However, there are also durable inexpensive models on the market that can effectively resist burglary, climatic and chemical aggression.
Design and finishing
The best metal door manufacturers in Russia create reliable and at the same time aesthetic models that do not violate the harmony of design, are characterized by a richness of shades, textures, finishing materials. Products of good quality retain their original aesthetics throughout the entire period of operation.
Depending on the brand of entrance doors and the design solution, the manufacturer can use the following materials for exterior finishing:
- Veneer is a thin plate of wood or its imitation, which repeats the shade and texture of natural solid wood.
- Plastic panels – mainly used in inexpensive models, often imitate the texture of wood, have a variety of patterns, ornaments.
- Paint – powder paints are mainly used, depending on the technology of their application, the surface can be glossy, matte or have a texture characteristic of natural leather.
- Chipboard – laminated wood panels are distinguished by a variety of shades and textures, resistance to moisture, to temperature extremes.
- Hammer enamel – forms a durable coating with an original texture, resists corrosion, mold formation.
It is customary to start reviewing entrance metal doors with their aesthetics. It is also formed from the concept of design and finish, the selected design, installed fittings. Some models may also have special inserts. The latter have an aesthetic or functional function, depending on the purpose. However, it is worth choosing canvases that will not lose their decorative aesthetics over time.
Please note! Base your choice of front door manufacturer on facts and warranties. These are documents, certificates, if they are required by the regulations. Before buying, be sure to check the guaranteed product life, installation conditions, maintenance requirements.
The best entrance metal doors to the house and apartment can undergo multi-stage decoration – it all depends on the design concept. In this case, the following materials and technologies are used:
- inserts from mirrors, from frosted, transparent, colored glass;
- artistic forging elements;
- stained glass;
- metal or PVC moldings;
- embossing, painting.
It is important that decorations do not harm quality, functionality and ergonomics. The best manufacturers of iron doors will never decorate to the detriment of the reliability, strength, and durability of the product. Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to the products of reputable manufacturers who are ready to document the guarantees for operation, for spare parts and accessories.
Insulation and soundproofing
The price of good quality entrance doors depends largely on their insulating capacity. The latter determines the ability of the structure to retain heat, not to let sounds into the apartment from the street and from the landing. In this case, various insulating materials can be used, but with the same ability to retain heat and sounds, they have different resistance to fire, variable parameters of durability and environmental safety.
The best entrance door companies use the following materials:
- mineral boards – light, safe, without strong unpleasant smell, resistant to ignition;
- foam – affordable insulation with low insulating ability, not suitable for models that will be operated in low temperatures;
- expanded polystyrene – rarely used due to the fact that if installed incorrectly, the material can have an unpleasant odor, although it protects well from frost and dampness;
- natural cork is a thin, but natural and environmentally friendly material with good heat and sound insulation, usually used as an additional insulating layer;
- isolon – can only be used in combination with other materials, is an effective insulation.
The best apartment door company will definitely offer models with different number of insulating layers. The more of them, the thicker and more massive the structures will be. In expensive models, several layers of insulation are often used, materials are combined, since some retain heat better, while the latter have a greater ability to contain sounds and are extremely resistant to moisture, climatic and chemical aggression.
Budget models usually have only one insulation layer of budget materials. However, the best inexpensive entrance doors are insulated with mineral wool, but not foam plastic. Take this into account when choosing. Remember that products with foam insulation can only be installed in apartments installed in apartment buildings with good, stable heating of entrances – they are not suitable for installation in entrance groups, the only exceptions are the southern regions.
Please note! The best iron entrance doors are distinguished by high heat and sound insulation properties. However, much will depend on the installation. Even the highest quality model with several layers of insulation from different materials will not save you from extraneous noise and heat loss if gross errors are made during the installation process. Only complete tightness and the use of reliable fittings will unlock the potential of the product. Therefore, do not save on installation and try to do it yourself.

Why eco-veneer is the best door covering?
It’s good that now we can safely choose doors that will satisfy our aesthetic needs. The catalog of manufacturers contains designs with glass inserts, stained-glass windows, interspersed with other materials. In addition to design and color, you can choose the canvas. Once upon a time, one had to be content with cheap structures made of chipboard or MDF, because solid wood was not available to everyone. now there is a new material that is in separate demand.
What is eco-veneer
Once a German company decided to create a coating that was much more beautiful than veneer, did not harm the environment, and was safe for humans. the decision has come. As a result of experiments and the work of masters, an eco-veneer appeared.
Wood fibers are dyed separately. A synthetic element is added to them, which tightly binds them. Further, the entire mass falls under a press operating under high pressure. The result is a durable eco-veneer that is resistant to mechanical stress.
Polypropylene is used to bind the fibers. It is known to be a safe compound that is environmentally friendly. It is used in the manufacture of containers for food, various utensils and for medicines. This production is the best proof that the material is environmentally friendly and safe.
Attractiveness
Interior doors are an important element in the interior design of any room. The door is an integral part of a properly balanced room decor style. She will decorate the room with her decoration and style. So it’s worth saying that the door can change the outcome of the repair.
The appearance and beauty of the canvas depends on the finish and fittings. Doors can be covered with a wide variety of materials such as natural veneer, solid wood and laminates. Currently, eco-veneer interior doors are leading in terms of advantages over doors of other styles.
They are as beautiful as modern technology allows, producing a laminate that is almost indistinguishable in shape from the fibers of natural wood. In addition, the cost of environmentally friendly veneer doors is reduced due to the materials used without loss of quality compared to solid wood doors, and in some characteristics even exceeds technical specifications.
Benefits
Why are eco-veneer doors so popular? To understand their peculiarity, you need to see all the attractive aspects of the design:
- Resistant to sunlight. Doors will stand for a long time without losing their attractiveness and richness of color. They are not affected by UV rays.
- Ecoveneer is created by analogy with natural veneer. This means that his appearance is on top. The imitation of wood texture in 3D and 2D is so realistic that it deserves special praise.
- Moisture resistant. The eternal problem is which doors to put in the bathroom and in the kitchen, where there is a constant temperature difference and it is humid. With doors made of eco-veneer, deformation will not occur. They don’t swell.
- Resistant to mechanical damage. Pet owners and those with small children understand how durable door material must be. There will be no traces of teeth, claws, ballpoint pens on the eco-veneer.
- If there is a collapsible structure, then it can be repaired. When a panel is knocked out, it can be replaced. This material is available from the manufacturer.
- Chemical resistance. There are those designs that cannot be wet and use detergents for them. Against this background, eco-veneer wins. Even the solvent will not spoil it. If it gets dirty, then you can safely take a sponge, moisten it in a solution and wipe the surface. If after a couple of years you decide to make repairs and the door turned out to be damaged by building mixtures, then the solvent will work.
- The cost of eco-veneer is lower than solid wood, but its strength and beauty are not worse at all.
Only a few points can be distinguished from the shortcomings. They miss sounds. You will not be able to ensure a quiet environment in the bedroom if you put eco-veneer doors. Remember that this material is a film, not real wood. She doesn’t let air through. You will have to ventilate the room more often and not leave it open for a long time to ensure your comfortable stay.
There are suppliers who give a chance for restoration. They can order additional parts to repair the door. But not everyone provides this service.
Belarusian manufacturers provide their customers not only with high-quality doors, but also with fittings. When ordering a canvas from eco-veneer, you can count on restoration. It will turn out to buy veneer to hide defects on the surface than to increase the service life.
If you don’t have money for solid wood doors, don’t worry. Modern eco-veneer products look expensive, while being light, durable and inexpensive. There are a lot of them in the catalog of the online store. Any color and design allows you to create a suitable environment in the house, in which it is pleasant to be.

Glass doors for the house: the best design solution
After the appearance of reinforced glass for doors, interior entrance structures made of veneer or MDF are steadily losing their positions, yielding to competitors in almost all parameters.
So, the choice of laconic and elegant blocks made of tempered glass or triplex will bring a bit of style and originality to the interior, while the designs successfully beat almost any design, emphasizing all the advantages of the room.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that patterned glass doors are unreliable and very fragile – materials and techniques are used in production technology allowing to obtain solid and durable products. Glass has not only impact resistance, but also has good sound insulation, while not cluttering up the space with its massiveness and dimensions.
Benefits of glass doors
- Reinforced, corrugated glass doors and beveled leafs have a huge light transmission.
- The room looks lighter and more airy, as the boundaries of space are visually blurred.
- Glass does not interact with moisture in any way, and solid wood or MDF is susceptible to high air humidity (maybe that is why structures are so often used for installation in bathrooms).
- There is a wide variety of door glass designs to suit any style of the room. The most popular of them are models made of corrugated and reinforced glass with and without bevels, as well as black canvases that look fresh and original.
- The material has good scratch resistance, which is useful for pet owners.
- This type of door is ideal for zoning space, and with the help of modern methods of fastening and opening it does not hide the square meters of the room – pendulum views, compartment products.
Our company is engaged in the installation, installation of glass door panels and partitions made of transparent material in offices and private homes. We work with well-known federal companies and we will be glad to cooperate with individuals.
Beveled glass for doors: what is it
Bevel is a special type of glass edge, where a chamfer is removed from the very edge of the edge at an angle of 5 – 45 cm, due to which the light passing through the beveled surface is refracted and plays with all “all colors” rainbows”, projecting unusual visual effects. Instead of glass, manufacturers can use a mirror. Due to the special “three-dimensional” processing of the material, the door unit is “voluminous”.
Manufacturers offer both the classic single-sided version and double-sided edge processing. The edge can be matted or polished, and the bevel size can be from 10 mm to 50 mm or even more (along the width of the edge). The design of the product varies from rectangular to figured variations depending on the design requirements of the customer. Such beveled glass doors visually increase the living or office space, so they are often installed in small studios limited by square meters. Facet on glass is done manually using special equipment.
Armored glass for doors: design solutions for the home
Armored glass is a transparent glass sheet with a metal mesh mounted inside. Products are of several types – colored, patterned (corrugated) and have good technical and decorative characteristics. Cloths are used everywhere, but the material has achieved special priorities precisely in the arrangement of living space. Cell sizes can reach from 12.5 to 25 mm.
The advantages of reinforced glass for doors are increased strength and decorative features – products look unusual and original. The dimensions of the door panels (due to their strength characteristics) can have different dimensions without the risk of destruction or damage. The color of the products varies and can be either yellow or transparent (even blue)! Such designs must be made in accordance with GOST. The dimensions of the canvases must also comply with regulatory documents (see table).
Patterned glass can be ribbed on one or both sides, matt or glossy, colorless or colored. The depth of the pattern also differs, which varies from 0.5 to 1.5 cm, which allows you to choose the best option for the style of the room, playing with the originality of the pattern.
Characteristics of corrugated glass
- Relief depth is 0.5 to 1.5 cm. .
- The light transmission of the colored versions is up to 65%.
- Glass is excellently processed.
Corrugated glass is produced in several ways – pouring into molds with a patterned pattern, processing on a conveyor machine with a special corrugated roller, “running” the material along a relief tape.
There are also several types of pattern, for example, the “krizet” or “delta” pattern.
Interior doors with black glass
Interior doors with black glass can be found in the interior of a living space not so often, but in vain, because this stylistic solution looks very expressive and bright. The main advantage of the dark canvas is the perfect combination with such room designs as art house, minimalism and pop art. Fabrics are made from tempered glass with subsequent tinting of the surface.
Glass doors can also be: sliding, hinged, radius, pendulum.
Sliding glass doors
Sliding glass doors are ergonomic, so they are installed in small apartments, where every square meter is worth its weight in gold. Structures of this type are mounted on special roller guides, and the canvas moves along the wall.
Swing glass doors
Swing doors are a classic choice of door unit. They are hung on mounting loops, which are overhead and mortise. According to the method of opening, the hinges are pendulum, articulated, with overlap.
Curved glass doors
Curved glass doors are the latest trend in interior door design. The design is a curved, convex, combined design, which is “bent” in the furnace according to individual dimensions.
Swinging Glass Doors
An amazing feature of the doors is that they can open in both directions. The secret of such an amazing ability lies in the cunning fastening loops that work both “for themselves” and “from themselves”.
The best design solutions
Glass doors do not overload the interior, but at the same time complete the image of a stylish and thoughtful home. Often, models are used in apartments where minimalism or hi-tech, pop art or constructivism reign. Many people decide to ennoble the space with a translucent design due to the lack of sunlight in the rooms – the doors have good light transmission capacity, therefore they are the best option for residents of apartments where one side faces north and the other south. In this case, the lighting “spreads” somewhat throughout the home, creating comfortable conditions for the household.
Criteria to consider when choosing a glass door for your home
The quality of the glass must be perfect. The presence of “blotches”, air bubbles in the design indicates non-compliance with the production technology. Such a canvas is usually ruthlessly rejected at the stage of creation.
For better illumination of the hallway, you can choose interior models with high light transmission. In the bedroom, the best option would be a tinted, matte surface of the structure.
The quality of fittings is a fundamental characteristic that should be paid attention to as carefully as the visual characteristics of the leaf itself. The specialists of our company use in their work only high-quality, European components of well-known and reputable manufacturers. We work with the largest federal companies and are proud that over the years of cooperation we have not received any complaints about us. Door glass, as well as fittings, can be of several types and produced by several methods: high-temperature heat treatment (tempered), gluing several glasses (triplex).
